There isn't a specified 'last day'. You missed the discount, not
that you'd have known because of the condition of the PCN, and
the authority must consider reps made before a Notice to Owner
is served which cannot be before end of play today and might be
weeks later, it's their choice.
Post a draft here pl.
You not seeing the suspension sign which complies with
procedural requirements is not the authority's problem.
But not sealing a PCN envelope or otherwise using defective
printing processes/paper such that the mandatory info is not
visible after such a relatively short time is, IMO.
I live at;
I use the parking place regularly other than when on holiday
which I was from ** to **;
I did not notice the suspension sign prior to going on holiday,
pl confirm when it was erected;
On my return I found the enclosed PCN which was missing
considerable amounts of information..
etc.

I make representations against the above PCN on the following
grounds.
1. The alleged contravention did not occur
At approximately 21:30 on 30 July 2026, I parked my vehicle at
the location shown in the authority's photographic evidence,
outside 27 Evelyn Gardens.
I live in a property directly fronting this residents' parking
bay and use the parking place regularly. I did not notice any
suspension signage when I parked on the evening of 30 July, nor
do I recall seeing any such signage in the days immediately
preceding this.
I subsequently checked the vehicle on 31 July before leaving for
holiday that day and again did not notice any suspension
signage.
I have now seen from the authority's evidence that the
suspension sign states "posted 23/07/2026". Given the above
circumstances, I ask the Council to confirm when the suspension
signage was actually erected and to provide the contemporaneous
records establishing that it was in place from 23 July 2026.
I understand that the Council's policy is ordinarily to provide
at least 7 calendar days' advance notice of a parking
suspension. If the signage was not in fact erected on 23 July as
stated, the required advance notice would not have been
provided.
Furthermore, the Council's own online "Find a scheduled parking
suspension" facility currently returns the following result when
searching Evelyn Gardens for 31 July 2026:
"There are no parking suspensions for Evelyn Gardens on
31/07/2026."
If the Council rejects these representations, please provide the
relevant suspension record together with the contemporaneous
sign erection log, dated photographs or other records
establishing when and where the suspension signage was erected.
2. Condition of the PCN
I was away on holiday from 31 July until 17 August 2026. Upon
returning on Monday 17 August, I found the PCN still attached to
my vehicle.
Considerable portions of the printed information on the face of
the notice are faded or disappeared entirely. In particular, a
substantial section of the information immediately above and
right beneath the detachable payment slip was no longer legible.
I enclose photographs showing the PCN exactly as I found it.
A motorist must be able to ascertain from a PCN the mandatory
information concerning the penalty and the procedure applicable
to it. The notice should therefore be printed and protected in a
manner reasonably capable of preserving that information while
it remains affixed to the vehicle.
In this case, the PCN was apparently not adequately sealed
against the elements and/or was printed using materials that did
not preserve the information.
I therefore ask the Council to cancel the PCN.
Should the Council nevertheless reject these representations,
please address each of the above grounds specifically and
provide the requested evidence concerning the suspension and
erection of the signage.

It's fine for me other than I would re-order your points,
putting the condition of the PCN first.
